I am
asking YOU to become a beacon of beaudacity, which means become a inspiration
to your friends, family, business associates, and bros' in cyberspace.
The way you accomplish this is by making yourself into the work of art
that you are. Become The Creator. This is your responsibility.
I will shortly explain how to do this. It is very simple. Follow along.

Every man has the right stuff to assume this challenge, because every
man has the capacity to shine with beauty, and that is what matters. All
that I am asking of you is that you be the art that you are. All that
I am asking you to do is be what men have been doing until the modern
world changed the definition of man to "bread winners". All that I am
asking you to do is to forget all the bullshit you have heard what about
what real art is. Real is art is the meta-gizmo, the things we create
with our heart and that includes everything from fishing flies to a tool
chest, to a leather jacket to a restored clock or motor an audio
system .or the picture we create .like the one I am asking
you to send me. Which is more beautiful, a perfectly restored
1930s John Deere tractor or Mona Lisa?

This BE A BEACON OF BEAUDACITY project is about art as currency as
a means of exchanging value .just like the good old days when we
lived in tribes. This project is all about each of us sharing with our
brothers our trilogy of coolosity, groovosity, beaudacity,
and that aint no lingo jive that is what Pow Wows, clan meetings,
rallies are all about .the sharing of beaudacity, the trading of
meta-gizmos. In this project I will suggest easy ways to create works
of art, that will express your beaudacity and how to include them in our
new cyberspace museum

This is going to be . NOTDO AS I SAY, but, DO
AS I DO, do as men have done for 50,000 years, or more. To accelerate
this artification process I will go first, to kick start the project.
Soon it will then take on a greater power because you will be able to
see the art work of so many other men and that could be a picture
of anything from, the work of art you "cut and paste" (like I am requesting,
like my collage), to a fishing lure, to a beautiful garden, to a 283 cubic
inch motor, to your custom made amplifier .each in their own right
a beacon of beaudacity.

All of the BEAUDACITY EMPOWERMENT PROJECTS, all of the simple meta-gizmos,
I will suggest here on this web site can be made with the type of simple
stuff you have around the house, can get at a hardware store, super market,
candy or local junk yard. Much of what you need is already around your
house.

I will prove that no training of any kind is needed for you to
create a "beacons of beaudacity". All you need to be able to use glue,
scissors, razor blades, a screw driver and a paint brush. If you have
greater skills and make more complex works that's way cool, but that is
no guarantee of shining this process is always about the heart you
put into your art not the technique.

WE ALL NEED INSPIRATION

THE REWARDS FOR SERVICE: THE CIRCLE OF BEAUDACITY

It didn't take long to make the connection. My compensation for the intense
work I do in serving you is the pictures of works of art that you send
me .of you as art. Because I am a techno-shaman I have the expertise
to differentiate between hi and low level inspiration. And I have met
some of the worlds greatest spiritual leaders, so I know the vibe. The
beaudacity that has filled my computer screen is more palpable than the
flavor of this chocolate rich Maduro cigar I am smoking right now. Inspiration
is as essential to the male health diet as barbecue. Without it our souls
turn into the dreaded Tofu of despair. I want to escalate this creative
interchange between men. I want to add a turbo-charger to the male artification
process.

THE INTERNATIONAL MUSEUM OF BEAUDACITY

It naturally follows that my responsibility is to create a place to house
and exhibit these new works of art .IN CYBERSPACE. The world's first
International Museum Of Beaudacity will be the place that my artful
brothers can exhibit, and thereby inspire. No need to go through all of
the pains and struggle of convincing the Metropolitan Museum of Art, or
some gallery to exhibit your work. DO IT NOW AND DO IT HERE.

HERE'S HOW.

When your original work of art is finished, I would like you to, either
send it to me as a digital file, or send me a color copy. If you have
made a three dimensional object then I will need to see at least a few
views of it.

If you think it is meaningful for your art, include a description of
yourself or the work, but I remind you that descriptions and explanations
can diminish the capacity of your work of artto challenge our
imagination. Have confidence that your art will speak.

There are some exceptions: If you are into baking, brewing or any other
significant form of culinary art, not only will I need your picture but
I need you to send me some samples, especially chocolate chip cookies,
or brownies.

THE BEACON OF BEAUDACITY

ART SHOW IN NEW YORK CITY

That would be cool, and dreams have power.

JUST DO IT

Don't just do this for me, or for you, do it because it is the art in
your male heart that transforms through inspiration just stare at
a 1948 Ford Woody for a few minutes, and experience what happens to your
spirit.

BE A BEACON OF BEAUDACITY

PROJECT 1: CUT AND PASTE

ALWAYS START YOUR QUEST FROM THE RIGHT PLACE

You are probably reading this article on the potty and are probably confused.
What the hell does Gizmo mean when he says I should make myself into work
of art? Is Gizmo some kind of ex-Commie pervert weirdo?

This may not be easy for you to grasp when you look at the mirror at
the back of the bathroom door, but you are art, and we can get into a
long winded hyper-bullshit discussion about this or . you can make
the leap. You can jump off the bridge with your bungee cord on, because
even if you have never considered yourself a work of art, I am going to
prove it to you right now. The truth is powerful, and it tolerates
no whiners or complainers.

GAZE AT THE COLLAGE I MADE. The title of this picture is THE
WHOLE SHABANG. When you study it closer you will note the powerful
graphic symbolism, which I think does a damn good job of expressing fifty
thousands years of my development. I know it is confusing because
you are wondering if you have seen this magnificent work of art hanging
in a museum. You may be confused by the powerful emotions it inspires.
Some may feel like they are hallucinating, or feel light headed. Others
may feel short of breath and feel like crying. This picture of me says
more about my soul than all of my articles and books. I am sure that scholars
will study very seriously my art on the their potty. This will be the
first time in the entire grand sweep of art, that an artist has created
a new genre of art to be both exhibited and studied in the potty and
you are part of this movement. THE POTTY ART MOVEMENT has begun.

All of these unsettling physical responses are normal responses to profound
art....and I am asking you to create such a masterpiece about yourself a
powerful symbolic picture with you right in the center .just
like mine.

This is as easy as third grade "cut and paste"; and you need no formal
art training, or any computer graphics programs. This is the old cut
and paste trick. The tools you need are a fine scissors, a razor blade
and an Exacto knife...and your source graphic materials. If you use a
computer cool but don't create any "I can't" excuses.

IT IS TIME TO GROW UP AND BE A WORK OF ART

Lets stop the self-delusion; words can not express your complex
multi-dimensional truth and beauty, they are too feeble. Of course
people dontunderstand you...but dont feel guilty
about it. Of course people dont understand you...because, who
you are cant be explained with words....and this is where your
ascending consciousness kicks in like four Holly Deuces on an Edelbrock
manifold.

Rather than sit there and bemoan this tragic fact of masculine life,
you are going to accept the limitations of "normal" communications and
you are going to do something...you are, like me, and our bros', going
to create a profound work of art that speaks some significant truth about
you. It wont be a complete revelation, no one piece of art can accomplish
that. Yet, over the next decades a pattern will evolve, leading to your
own private museum, dedicated to you.

My suggestion is that before your museum is built that you place this,
your first picture (and the soon to be growing collection of your personal
art), right on the wall above your potty. This is your chance to take
the most boring room in every house and transform it into a temple to
the male spirit. How thrilling it would be to walk into a bathroom, and
instead of seeing bullshit little animals and flowers, you see the concrescence
of humanity.

Once again let your eyes feast on my picture. As you can see I used a
combination of magazines as a source of graphics, including, fishing catalogs,
old Harley-Davidson catalogs, WW II military vehicle magazines, audio
magazines, and various other esoteria that interests me. It took a few
hours to create this picture, and yours wont take much longer. LIKE I
SAID NO EXCUSES.

ATTITUDE/CHARACTER MATTERS: This artification process is much
easier to slid into if you can get into an attitude or a character. Accept
that that many different people dwell in your soul house. Pick one of
those characters to create your art, and let the art express that character's
intense uniqueness. If it is the bad boy in you, let your art express
his vitality. Just take a strong point of view because that is where
our strength is strongest a conviction that the entire history of
maleness lives in every man. Every man is filled with the darkest to the
lightest and it is our job to celebrate our Wholiness.

SUBJECT MATTER: That is for you decided, but a picture of you
must be in your work of art. It can be a picture of you when you were
six or sixty. You don't have to be alone, you can include others in your
picture.

When you create your picture have fun....shuffle the images around. Take
a pause and come back. Dont worry about being logical...this
is beyond logicalthis is art.....JUST MAKE YOURSELF INTO A
BEAUTIFUL WORK OF ART...let the thing you create reflect your spirit.

A HELPFUL HINT: I find that when I am doing cutting and pasting
that keeping a glass of milk and cookies nearby helps.

HERE IS WHAT TO DO WHEN YOU ARE FINISHED WITH YOUR WORK OF ART

1.Send it to me so it can be exhibited in the museum

2. Make lots of color copies because you will be handing them
out to all of the important people in your life, who will frame this work
of art and put it in an important place. Be sure to give copies to your
co-workers at you place of work.

3. Frame it and hang it above your potty

And why not make these type of pictures of your loved ones. A way cool
gift.
